Engineering and technology company Frazer-Nash has been awarded
a contract by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to become the
Independent Safety Auditor (ISA) for the Merlin Life Sustainment
Programme (MLSP), following a competitive tender.

The MLSP programme is a multiyear project to reduce the through
life cost of ownership of the Merlin helicopter, principally
through a major upgrade of the avionic systems. This will
address obsolescence issues with the introduction of open systems
computer architecture, as well as enhancing performance.

Over a one year period covering the assessment phase of the
programme, Frazer-Nash will provide an independent safety audit of
the MLSP programme to ensure its compliance with the appropriate
safety requirements and safety standards.

Commenting on the contract, Martin Soltau, Business Manager at
Frazer-Nash said: "We are delighted to be supporting the MoD on
such an important project. Our independent assurance of safety is a
vital element in demonstrating that helicopters are safe to fly. We
have a highly competent team with extensive experience in safety
requirements and acceptance processes.

"We have been the ISA for the Merlin Capability Sustainment Plus
(MCSP) for the last 9 years, so this coupled with our previous work
on the Merlin helicopter, means that we can provide informed and
authoritative advice on the MLSP programme."

Frazer-Nash has also been awarded an extended contract by the
MoD to provide independent safety audit and advice for the Merlin
Capability Sustainment Plus (MCSP) programme.
